A call gets missed
You're mid-job, driving, or it's 11 PM. The call rings out — the exact moment most trade businesses silently lose the job to the next company on Google.
Nights & weekends covered
Built for plumbers, HVAC & electricians
Every missed call becomes a booked job — automatically.
When you're under a sink or on a roof, you can't answer. RingBack Text answers for you: the second a call is missed, your customer gets a friendly text with your booking link — before they dial your competitor.

How it works
From missed call to booked job in three moves
No new hardware, no app, no front-desk hire. RingBack Text plugs into the phone number your trucks, cards and Google profile already advertise.
An instant text goes out
Within seconds, the caller gets a personal text from your business: an apology, a name, and one clear next step — your booking link. It reads like you typed it yourself.
Target: under 10 secondsThe job lands on your calendar
The customer picks a slot, you get an instant owner alert with their details, and the whole conversation is saved as a lead — nothing slips through again.

Interactive demo · Try it yourself
Don't just watch it — run a missed call yourself
You play both sides: miss the call as the owner, watch the auto-text fire, then reply and book as the customer — while the owner dashboard updates live. Every demo account includes 3 free text-backs; when they're used, text-back pauses and it's time to pick a plan. This demo runs in this page only — no real text is sent.

That's exactly how the live trial works: the counter belongs to the business account, so it doesn't reset by logging out and back in. Everything you captured stays saved — pick a plan and text-back switches straight back on, right where you left off. Nothing is charged until you check out on a plan.

Built for the trades
If your hands are busy, your phone can't be
RingBack Text launches with the trades where one missed emergency call is worth the most — then expands trade by trade, with wording written for each one.
Plumbing
Burst pipes and dead water heaters don't wait for you to finish the current job. The text-back catches the emergency while you're still under someone else's sink.
Launch trade #1 — wording & booking flow ready
HVAC
Heatwaves and cold snaps flood your line exactly when every tech is out. Every overflow caller gets a text and a slot instead of a competitor's number.
Launch trade #2 — seasonal surge templates included
Electrical
Power-out and panel calls are urgent and high-value. A 10-second text keeps the homeowner calm, captures the address, and books the visit.
Launch trade #3 — emergency-first message flow
Also on the roadmap:RoofingGarage doorsLocksmithsCleaning servicesPest controlLandscapingAppliance repair
What's included
Everything between “missed” and “booked”
Instant auto-text
Fires seconds after a missed call — business hours, after hours, weekends. Speed is the whole game: the first company to respond usually wins the job.
One-tap booking link
Every text carries your booking page. Customers pick a slot in under a minute — no phone tag, no “we'll call you back” that never happens.
Owner alerts
The moment someone books or replies, you get a text with their name, need and address. Jump into the conversation from your own phone anytime.
After-hours mode
Different wording at night: calm, clear, and honest about morning call-backs for non-emergencies — while true emergencies still get captured instantly.
Compliance built in
A2P 10DLC-registered sending, business identification in the first message, and automatic STOP opt-out handling — set up for you, not left to you.
Two-way conversations
Replies land in a simple inbox you can answer from anywhere. Every lead, booked or not, is saved with the full thread — your follow-up list builds itself.

Questions owners ask
Before you ask
No. Your existing number stays on your trucks, cards and Google profile. We connect it with call forwarding so missed calls trigger the text-back, and outbound texts come from a registered local number we set up and verify for your business.
Yes, when it's done properly — and “properly” is part of the setup, not homework for you. The customer called your business first, the first message identifies who you are, and anyone can reply STOP to opt out, which is honoured automatically. Sending runs through A2P 10DLC registration as US carriers require.
That reply lands in your two-way inbox and you get an owner alert instantly. Plenty of jobs close in the chat instead of the booking page — either way, the lead is captured with their name and number saved.
The system is built to fire within about 10 seconds of the missed call. That speed matters: a caller who just hit your voicemail is usually seconds away from dialling the next company on Google.
Every business account starts with 3 free text-backs — real missed calls answered by the live system once you're set up, no card needed. The counter belongs to your account, not to a login, so it can't be reset by signing out and back in. When the 3 are used, text-back pauses, your leads and bookings stay saved, and picking any plan switches it straight back on.
Yes. Monthly plans are cancel-anytime with no contract, and annual plans exist only because they save you two months — not to lock you in. If it isn't recovering jobs, it shouldn't be billing you.
It launches with plumbing, HVAC and electrical — message wording and booking flows written per trade. Roofing, garage doors, locksmiths, cleaning, pest control and landscaping follow on the same system.
